Blue Angel went down in Smyrna this afternoon.

I understand this may not be the place but it looks like a Blue Angel went down in Smyrna TN at 3pm today, while practicing for the airshow this weekend. One confirmed dead. They are not saying it's the pilot but by all accounts it looks like he rode it in. Missed an apartment building and an elementary school. If it was the pilot, he's a hero. The loss of life could have been horrific if he hit either of these structures.

Prayers go out to their family.

Just Damn!

The pilot went in. It's a terrible thing.

It's rumored that he bought it at the bottom of a loop.

At another event a jet went down right in front of where the president was but he ejected and the plane supposedly missed human life.

Would that be blue angel?

Would that be blue angel?

It would be. Autocorrect got me and we can't edit the subject line. They have released the pilots name, Cpt Jeff Kuss USMC. Married, father of two. Sad, but he certainly saved lives.

Video footage didn't look like they weren't doing anything except a low pass. Witness said it sounds like it lost power.

Auto correct can be a problem indeed. My Android cell phone changes with, to 28th. I have no idea why that should happen!
